Shabbat Shalom

April 28, 2007 - We are now in the month Zif, which is the second month, 10th day ( end of April / May ).

Judaism is wrong by calling this month Iyyar. Iyyar is not in the Hebrew Scriptures.

1Kgs.6[1] And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.

Spring Feasts and Holy Days of the Lord this year 2007

We are counting the omer. This is the third week of counting the omer.

Lev.23 [ 15 ] And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath , from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:[ 16 ] Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD [17 ] Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD.

This year, 2007, our dates are as follows:

The 3rd month, Sivan 9th is on the 27th of May and is a Sabbath ( Sunday ) Feast of Weeks - Pentecost.

Two sabbaths in a row.

The giving of the Torah ( commandments ) and giving of the Holy Spirit ( Acts 2 and Joel 2:28 ).

Made-up holidays, not Holy Days

Last week, on the Gregorian calendar was "Administrative Assistant Day, Arbor Day.

Arbor Day ? - The first Arbor Day took place on April 10, 1872 in Nebraska. It was the brainchild of Julius Sterling Morton (1832-1902), a Nebraska journalist and politician originally from Michigan. Throughout his long and productive career, Morton worked to improve agricultural techniques in his adopted state and throughout the United States when he served as President Grover Cleveland's Secretary of Agriculture. But his most important legacy is Arbor Day.

Last Sun., April 22 and Mon., April 23, according to Judaism was Yom Hazikaron ( Memorial Day) and Israeli Independence Day (Yom Ha'atzmaut)

Yom Hazikaron ( Memorial Day) - Israel Fallen Soldiers and Victims of Terrorism Remembrance Day) is an Israeli national holiday.

Yom Ha'atzmaut - Israeli Independence Day , commemorates the declaration of independence of Israel in 1948 .

It falls on the 5th of the Jewish lunar month of Iyar ,? celebrating the declaration of the state of Israel by David Ben-Gurion in Tel Aviv on May 14, 1948 and the end of the British Mandate of Palestine ( ? ).

Iyar is made-up

What about the Feasts of the Lord as prescribed in the Scriptures

on the right day ,

on the right month ,

and on the right name of the month ?

Even some secular dates are wrong.

1Pet.1 - [22 ] Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

2Pet.1 - [12 ] Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.

2Pet.2 - [2 ] And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

1John.1 - [6 ] If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth :

[8] If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

1John.2 - [4 ] He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

[21] I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth , but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

[27] But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

1John.3 - [18 ] My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. [ 19] And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.

1John.4 - [6 ] We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

1John.5 - [6 ] This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth .

2John.1 - [1 ] The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth ; [2] For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. [3 ] Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. [4 ] I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.

3John.1 - [1 ] The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.

[3] For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. [ 4] I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth .

[8] We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.

[12] Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record is true.

When we went witnessing, no one was out there preaching the Truth - repentance.

Has the message changed? No!

[25] And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.

Acts.28 - [31 ] Preaching the kingdom of God , and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.

Rom.1 - [15 ] So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

Rom.2 - [21 ] Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

Rom.10 - [8 ] But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

[14] How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? [ 15] And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

Rom.15 - [19 ] Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

[20] Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:

Rom.16 - [25 ] Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ , according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,

1Cor.1 - [17 ] For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

[18] For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

[21] For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

1Cor.1 - [23 ] But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

1Cor.2 - [4 ] And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

1Cor.9 - [14 ] Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.

[16] For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!

[18] What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.

[27] But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

1Cor.15 - [1 ] Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

[2] By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preach ed unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

[11] Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach , and so ye believed. [12 ] Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

[14] And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain , and your faith is also vain.

2Cor.1 - [19 ] For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.

2Cor.2 - [12 ] Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,

2Cor.4 - [5 ] For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

2Cor.10 - [14 ] For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:

[16] To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand.

2Cor.11 - [4 ] For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

[7] Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely ?

Gal.1 - [8 ] But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. [9] As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

[11] But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.

[16] To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

[23] But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.

Gal.2 - [2 ] And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.

Gal.3 - [8 ] And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham , saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

Gal.4 - [13 ] Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first.

Gal.5 - [11 ] And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.

Eph.2 - [17 ] And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

Eph.3 - [8 ] Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

Phil.1 - [15 ] Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: [ 16] The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:

[18] What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

Col.1 - [23 ] If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

[28] Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

1Thes.2 - [9 ] For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached nto you the gospel of God.

1Tim.2 - [7 ] Whereunto I am ordained a preach er, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.

1Tim.3 - [16 ] And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

2Tim.1 - [11 ] Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

2Tim.4 - [2 ] Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

[17] Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

Tit.1 - [3 ] But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;

Heb.4 - [2 ] For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

[6] Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

1Pet.1 - [12 ] Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

[25] But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

1Pet.3 - [19 ] By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;

1Pet.4 - [6 ] For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

2Pet.2 - [5 ] And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

Shalom
